List of 117 MI6 Officers
Reporting on the list of 117 MI6 officers which Richard Tomlinson published on the internet in the 1990s[When?] and which was posted by Executive Intelligence Review, Duncan Campbell remarked that:
EIR is no ordinary US magazine. It is run by Lyndon LaRouche, a wannabe US presidential candidate and convicted felon whose main thesis on world affairs is that they are secretly controlled by a drugs cartel run by British royalty. Even among conspiracy buffs, information emanating from LaRouche lies low on the credibility scale. Had the [UK] Government not drawn attention to the list, and said that it was true and damaging and from Tomlinson, it would never have been taken seriously and, in all probability, never read.[3]
